Passport is a travel document, not document of citizenship, say MEA officials.

What the f*ck is proof of citizenship then???

So this is what it is!!

The reporter who reported the news had their facts mixed up. The GEF414 engine deal for Tejas MK2 is almost done with commercial negotiations on going. The GEF414 engine negotiations for AMCA is a different program altogether!!

This mix up had caused incorrect facts to be published in the media!!

Another side of China has been exposed brutally across social media.

From the caste system to infrastructure, the criticism have rattled Beijing so much that articles have started appearing in Global Times.

This information began surfacing after China’s firewall was breached, exposing discussions that had long remained behind the country’s heavily controlled internet system.

China enforces one of the world’s strictest digital censorship and internet-control systems, tightly regulating the flow of information online.

Because of this firewall, platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter remain banned in China.

The firewall serves as a censorship shield, preventing negative or sensitive content from reaching the outside world.

During COVID-19, China suppressed early information and restricted data to protect its global image.

The European Council on Foreign Relations detailed how China uses financial influence to push its narrative in targeted countries.

So, did one of China’s biggest rivals end up leaking these visuals? 👀

Fugitive diamond merchant Nirav Modi has been directed by a UK court to pay over 11 million US dollars to the Bank of India.

The ruling was delivered by the High Court in London. Justice Simon Tinkler held that Modi is liable under a personal guarantee linked to a loan extended to a Dubai-based firm, Firestar Diamond FZE.

The court found that the demand notice issued in October 2025 was valid and enforceable under Indian law.

Iran's petroleum minister Mohsen Paknejad in India for #BRICS #Energy ministers meet.

India is significantly boosting the use of domestic #coal at power plants previously reliant on imports, aiming to slash costly overseas purchases. Over 50% of capacity at these plants is now running on local fuel, with trials expanding this further. This shift is enabled by increased renewable #energy generation freeing up domestic supplies and plant modifications to handle local coal's higher ash content.
